# Make sense of iPhone notifications and messages

Restoring a chat, finding a dismissed alert and saving future notifications are different tasks. Start with what happened on your phone.

## What happened on your iPhone?

## Messages and chats

-

### [See deleted messages](https://notikeep.app/en/see-deleted-whatsapp-messages-iphone/)

Seeing “This message was deleted”? If the notification arrived first, the text is still in NotiKeep.

-

### [Deleted your chat? Check the backup first](https://notikeep.app/en/recover-deleted-whatsapp-chats-iphone/)

Separate a chat you deleted from a message removed by its sender before reinstalling WhatsApp.

-

### [Read text saved before an edit](https://notikeep.app/en/read-original-edited-whatsapp-message-iphone/)

Previously captured text stays saved. Learn when an edited message may also arrive as a new notification.

-

### [Read without opening the chat](https://notikeep.app/en/read-whatsapp-without-opening-iphone/)

Read in NotiKeep without opening WhatsApp: no blue ticks and no “online” status.

## Old and cleared notifications

-

### [Find an old notification](https://notikeep.app/en/iphone-notification-history/)

Your iPhone forgets the notifications you clear. NotiKeep keeps a searchable history.

-

### [A notification disappeared or was cleared?](https://notikeep.app/en/cleared-notification-iphone/)

Check Notification Center, the source app and copies saved earlier. Clearing an alert may leave the message intact.

-

### [Bring back the latest notification](https://notikeep.app/en/latest-notification-iphone-shortcut/)

Use the Action Button, Back Tap or Siri to read the latest saved message.

## Setup and alternatives

-

### [Understand the iOS 27 automation](https://notikeep.app/en/ios-27-notification-automation/)

What the Notification trigger passes along, what it leaves out, and how to build the shortcut from scratch.

-

### [Replace WAMR from Android](https://notikeep.app/en/wamr-notisave-iphone/)

WAMR and Notisave aren’t available for iPhone. Here’s what works starting with iOS 27.
